Thank You Cards… (piece from the 1980’s)

“Absorption in the minutiae of an individual existence is the only refuge from the apocalyptic madhouse staged by the maniacal saviors of humanity.”— Eric Hoffer
Below, I am singing with the use of an application on my phone called SMULE. When you click on the link, what you’ll be clicking on is a backing track— orchestra provided by the Smule application (with the exception of Starry Starry Night– where I’m playing the piano)— for singers who want simply to sing and not be bothered with attempting to accompany themselves on an instrument. I used to think this kind of Kareoke “thANg” “cheesy,” now I think this kind of thing … god.
